Egoli: The Movie

I will confess I have never watched a single episode of Egoli in my life. I have no idea who Niek, Joe, Faan, Duifie and Nenna are, but I have no doubt many South Africans do. I know what it’s like to follow a soapie for so many years that it starts to feel like the characters are family.

It is exactly for this reason that the producers of Egoli decided to make the circle beega by bringing out Egoli: The Movie just a few months after the last TV episode aired. The fans want to know what’s happening with their family! Well, everyone from David Rees to Casper de Vries and Christina Storm make an appearance, and most of the characters seem to pick up from where the soapie ended. There’s romance, violence, revelations and, of course, a cameo by the late Lolly Jackson. If you’re an Egoli follower you’ll love every minute of this well produced and directed full-length feature.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
